Blue Jays announce that a few players have been promoted
The Blue Jays announced last night that pitcher Khal Stephen who has been having an incredible first season in professional baseball has been promoted to Double-A with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
The Blue Jays are promoting Khal Stephen to Double-A, source says. Stephen (No. 9 prospect) has a 1.75 ERA with 97 K in 87.2 IP. One of the best stories in their system this year. He'll join Trey Yesavage in a stacked AA rotation including Juaron Watts-Brown and Kendry Rojas.
So far this season Stephen has an impressive 1.75 ERA in 87.2 innings pitched with the Vancouver Canadians in High-A ball which has now led to his promotion to pitcher along side Trey Yesavage.
According to reports, the Blue Jays also decided to promote outfielder Victor Arias as he is headed to Double-A as well while catcher Edward Duran and second baseman Sam Shaw will be promoted to High-A in Vancouver.
More Blue Jays prospect promotions coming, per source: OF Victor Arias (No. 29) to Double-A. He's emerging as a quick riser, big upside. C Edward Duran and 2B Sam Shaw (No. 24) will move from Dunedin to Vancouver. Duran has made a big jump, now the org's top catching prospect.
Vancouver Canadians pitcher Khal Stephen graduates to AA New Hampshire after a dominating stint in with the C's. Congrats Khal! The Blue Jays also drafted Abbotsford's Micah Bucknam, so we could see a local boy on the mound at the Nat soon!
